Hmmmmm. I'm pretty sceptical about these arrangements.
Sorry but I'm not interested in becoming a feeder club to anyone or becoming part of any group. We have a long and rich history and I don't want us to lose any of that.
A quick look at Bournemouths league position tells you these random foreign investments aren't always a success.
I'll wait for more details but I'd much prefer we go down fan ownership. Some of the madness going on down south at places like Chelsea and sports washing at the likes of Man City and Newcastle gives me the fear.

"BBC Scotland understands Mr Foley's Black Knight's sport and entertainment consortium is interested in referring players in and out of Hibs to other teams under its control, but would not be involved in the management of the club".
If that's the case it's a big no from me.

We have always punched below our weight. Imagine what we could do if we not only met our potential but far exceeded it, like Bournemouth do.

He obviously sees and respects what the Gordon Family have done here and recognises the worth and possibilities in a good wee investment at a well run club.

Look at our stadium facilities. Up there with the best. Record returns on it. Yeah it cost money but people want to spend it and go.
We have the infrastructure and now the first team needs a tweak or two.
I can only see this as a positive move.
Can’t wait to hear the negativity from the media pundits around this

I'm sure Chelsea fans were delighted when Boehly took over. Not sure if all that investment has worked especially well for them.
I'll see what else comes out but I'm not hugely convinced by what I've seen so far.

Reading the investment group that would be investing in us has Chicago bears minority owners and Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan. Easter Road to be a venue in the next Creed or Black panther movie?

Hes talking about finishing 3rd regularly and competing better in europe. It’s a win win for me.
oh aye and we’ve been a feeder club all our existence. I’m still not over Colin Stein.Last edited by greenlex; 31-10-2023 at 06:26 PM.

Michael B Jordan seems a bit of a Ryan Reynolds getting hands on, well see

Worrying about potentially losing players to Bournemouth is a bit of misnomer. We currently have zero players who are good enough to play in that league, I'd be delighted if we developed and sold players who were good enough for that level.
It would mean we are producing absolutely top drawer players (and then being suitably compensated for them).

And a multi-billionaire isn't going to invest in Hibs to try and make a few more bucks. If he gets involved it'll be game changing or there would be no point.

If we’re a feeder club for someone like a Bournemouth who are punching well above their weight then sign me up.
